⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $3.9M/yr
88.0% probability / year
Routine year with no major incidents: steady operations, scheduled maintenance, research and regular expeditions.

🚨 Minor Incident $4.3M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$385K vs baseline
Localized incident requiring emergency response, demolition/repair of one or more houses, increased amnestic use and legal/PR costs.

🚨 Exploration Scaleup $8.8M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$4.9M vs baseline
Decision or requirement to attempt deep exploration/temporary occupation inside SCP-1469-2, triggering large capital investment and elevated recurring costs.
